  • Snow

    Snow glimmers bright white  Dangers hide with each misstep  I will not turn back 

  • Warmth

    Silence compounding  Bitter winter cold.  Breathing  Warmth into my home 

  • Overnight Snow

    “Emily! Wake up! It’s snowing!” My sister shook my shoulder as she whispered into my ear. In response, I pulled my blanket up over my head. Suzanna was obsessed with winter. Obsessed with snow and obsessed with being outside when I much preferred to stay in bed during the winter. I hate the cold and…

    As October neared, I anxiously waited for my father to bring up when we would head back to the winter cabin.  The anticipation of getting the cabin ready for our annual Christmas trip as soon as we got out of school.  At twelve, I was aware our family getaways wouldn’t last forever.  Simon was in his…
